Lighthouse
Guiding Light of Unyielding Love
Lyrics
Why, why is it so hard?
Expressing frustration or difficulty in understanding a situation or emotion.
Oh, why, I just can't seem to let you go?
Struggling to let go of someone or something significant.
Yeah, I know that I should probably move on
Acknowledging the need to move on from a past relationship or experience.
But I don't wanna believe it's all gone
Reluctance to accept the idea that everything from the past is lost.
So I want you to know, to know
Expressing a desire for the other person to understand something important.
Wherever you go, I'm not gonna hide out
Commitment to being present and not avoiding the challenges of the situation.
I'll be your lighthouse
Symbolizing being a guiding force or support for the other person.
Whatever you do, I'll be your fire when it's cold out
Commitment to providing warmth and comfort in difficult times.
I don't care if it's gonna break me
Willingness to endure emotional pain for the sake of the relationship.
Don't give a damn, I'll be here waiting
Expressing a strong determination to wait for the other person.
Wherever you go, no matter what you do
Reiterating the commitment to be there regardless of the other person's actions.
I'll keep the lights on
Symbolic repetition emphasizing the commitment to keep the metaphorical lights on.
I'll keep the lights on
-I'll keep the lights on
-How, how did we get here?
Reflecting on how the current situation or relationship has evolved.
Oh now, now I just wish I had you closer
Expressing a desire for closeness or intimacy that is currently lacking.
Yeah, I know that I should probably move on
Acknowledging the need to move on, similar to line 4.
But I don't wanna believe it's all gone
Reluctance to accept the reality of the situation.
So I want you to know, to know
Reiterating the desire for the other person to understand.
Wherever you go, I'm not gonna hide out
Commitment to being a constant presence, not hiding from challenges.
I'll be your lighthouse
Repetition of the lighthouse metaphor, emphasizing guidance and support.
Whatever you do, I'll be your fire when it's cold out
Continued commitment to providing warmth and comfort.
I don't care if it's gonna break me
Acceptance of potential emotional pain for the sake of the relationship.
Don't give a damn, I'll be here waiting
Strong determination to wait for the other person.
Wherever you go, no matter what you do
Reiteration of commitment to be there regardless of the other person's actions.
I'll keep the lights on
Symbolic repetition emphasizing the commitment to keep the lights on.
I'll keep the lights on
-I'll keep the lights on
-I'll keep the lights on
Additional emphasis on the commitment to provide support.
I don't care if it's gonna break me
Reiteration of willingness to endure emotional pain for the sake of the relationship.
Don't give a damn, I'll be here waiting
Strong determination to wait for the other person, repeated from line 29.
Wherever you go, no matter what you do
